  2. Is this a good new grad NP offer?

    ArmaniX replied to AGUS821's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The offer seems.. low for the area but I am not certain. As a new grad > 2 years ago I was offered 90K annual for a well known hospital in the south (ICU - lots of responsibility). Another new grad...

  3. Can Acute Care Adult-Geri NP work in the ER/ ICU?

  4. Thinking about becoming a NP but also need career advice

    ArmaniX replied to Grande_latte04's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  6. They asked me if my salary range was negotiable. I said no. Was I right to do that?

    ArmaniX replied to mangopeach's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Know your worth and know your bottom line. Perhaps you could’ve entertained the idea for negotiation if only to detail why you deserve a pay in the range you

  7. No NP jobs. What now?

    ArmaniX replied to OkieNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you want to continue working in the hospital? Consider acute care cert. The pandemic has slowed hiring in a lot of areas. But ignoring that. Perhaps the areas you’re searching or willing to work...

  8. Where can acute care pediatric nps practice

    ArmaniX replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Advanced Practice

    Pure speculation but I feel you would be fine to continue working in the peds pulm clinic with your acute care certification. I am an adult acute care NP and while I practice in the ICU. If I ever...

  9. Resigning from first NP job...

    ArmaniX replied to amahucka's topic in Advanced Practice

    Just play your cards right and balance it. Would be unfortunate to leave one job offering you RN pay for another job that may find they don’t need / can’t afford you in a month when income is down...

  12. NP school, did you pull a loan or paid in cash?

    ArmaniX replied to Sam. W's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I paid out of pocket as I worked and went to school. Graduated with no college debt. Was the right choice for me as I do not really care to have to be “tied” to a job in order to get/fulfill...

    Solid organ transplants. Free, on the black

  14. What was your first AGACNP job?

    ArmaniX replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Started directly in an ICU with 3 month orientation. Certifications, experience (RN) all very much do have weight as a new grad NP. Your timing is unfortunate (pandemic), but I would consider casting...

  15. Pathways to NP

    ArmaniX replied to Sun1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Start by looking at your local colleges and programs they offer. Then do some research. These questions are what commonly get asked by individuals with no idea what they want to do but have the...

  16. No Jobs For New Grads Despite RN Time?!

    ArmaniX replied to kdawnz's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    People are only interested in what benefits them, that’s how it works and you should ride the train. You must have heard the countless stories of individuals being let go after devoting years of...

    ArmaniX replied to NurseB.MN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Many initial statistics were estimates of what the US could see. Social distancing, sheltering in place etc were introduced and we have seen those effects. To simply say “look our numbers are...

  18. Perfect Timing: Brand New ICU RN During Pandemic

    ArmaniX replied to ICURNMI's topic in Critical Care

    Just make sure your orientation is not cut short due to the pandemic. I’m sure many classes will be cancelled, no in person 12-lead courses is one example I could imagine. Good

  19. Has anyone ever let their CCRN expire?

    ArmaniX replied to CyclicalEvents's topic in Critical Care

    Mine expired during the initial renewal period, even though I had the CEUs. I chose not to pay the renewal fee because it no longer served me a purpose. The first four years it got me a raise, got me...

  21. Transferring ICUs- Resumes & Interviews

    ArmaniX replied to mph53953's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My bad, I was certain they were applying for a new RN position since they didn’t feel they had a high enough acuity in their current ICU. Applying for grad school is another

  22. Transferring ICUs- Resumes & Interviews

    ArmaniX replied to mph53953's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    EducatioN: college degree, year achieved. Boom. I’m not a hiring manager but frankly I wouldn’t care if you ran track and got an award. Irrelevant to patient care in an icu. Once I had a year...
